I'm looking to do my suspension when I put my other rear in the car. The car is not a daily driver but is driven on the street occasionally. I'm obviously looking to do a 50/50 in the back and then i thought about 90/10's in the front but i think that might be to much so maybe 70/30's or something instead. I was looking at the eibach drag springs also.

What are you street/strip guys running?

tuning the car for both street and drags is not going to happen one or the other < because > drag set up you want to transfer as much of the unsprung weight of the car to the rear wheels and by doing so you need the front end to lift as high as possible < having said that their is a spot of too much lift - that is when you can no longer cut the light sooo you will need top out stops ( under the upper travel arms ) so as you will be able to bring the bulb into the cars lift point so leaving with the green still on is achieved -- i don't know if this is what you were looking for - its what the pro racers do that is if you want to win or are you looking to just play -- jz

AFAIK they don't make a 90/10 or 70/30 strut for the front of a 4th gen. I think you are stuck with an adjustable (or maybe custom valved) if you want something like that.

thanks for the information guys in terms of a 50/50 what are my options besides competetion engineering? and when you say adjustable who makes one?

thanks for the help, i've never payed much attention to the suspension world so I'm trying to get as much info as possible.
